MAF question

[xx_s4quattro_xx]

Alright heres what happen i went somewhere and my brother was doing my darintake on my car. When he was done he forgot to clip the intake where it meets with the maf to the airbox. So basically i was running straight intake with no filter i found out last night that it was not plugged up because my car was bogging out. Do you guys think i got a cel for maf sensor because of that? I wouldnt know because my cel is forever on due to no cats. If i clear the codes would the car run better with the maf plugged in? LMK thanks in advance

once u plug the maf back in your car should run correctly.
yes it will definitely throw a code. clearing it however shouldnt help how it runs.

Would i have to clear the code? Because now that its plugged in its still bogging when i WOT and coming to a stop my rpm would jump from 900 rpm down to like 200 rpm back and fourth.

Try cleaning your MAF. You can unplug your MAF and run your car and see if that helps with the bogging.
